It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things; the alphabet, machines, rockets and so many other things. But scientists and archaeologists now agree that women invented one very important thing which has changed history. They invented agriculture. Before the

3

invention of agriculture, men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals, sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day too. They collected roots, fruit and grass. One day, more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds. She dropped them near her home. They grew and the first wheat was born. The idea grew, too. Women planted roots and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after their children and their animals. Archaeologists think that women kept the first domestic animals. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home. They built villages and cities. Civilization began. Men began civilization after women had invented agriculture.

A) Answer the following questions: 1. Who proved that women invented agriculture? 2. How did the early man get his food? 3. What was the first crop cultivated by women?

B. Choose the correct answer from a , b , c , or d: 4. An archaeologist is a person who studies …………….

a) animal life b) agriculture life c) grass seeds d) buried remains of ancient times

5. The underlined word “they” refers to ………….. a) women b) seeds c) men d) animals

6. Read the following passage , then answer the questions ( 4 marks ) Successful marriage is the most effective form of social support; it relieves the effects of stress, and leads to better mental and physical health. While many studies have shown the great importance of social support, it is still clear exactly what this means. Most likely it consists of being a sympathetic listener or offering helpful advice; providing emotional support and social acceptance; giving actual help or financial help, and simply doing ordinary things together, like eating and drinking. Husbands seem to benefit much more from marriage than wives do. Married women are in better physical and mental health, and are happier than single women, but these effects are nearly twice as great for men. Various explanations have been considered, but the most plausible is that wives provide more social support than husbands. Perhaps men need it more? They are more exposed to stresses at work, and have worse health, and die earlier than women.

A) Answer the following questions: 1. How effective is successful marriage from the social point of view? 2. Why are men in need of more social support than women? 3. In what aspect did married women excel single ones?

4

B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c, or d: 4.The underlined word "plausible" is closet in meaning to………. a. untrue b. ambiguous c. reasonable d. vague 5- Successful marriage is useful for……

Plants make most food people eat. They grow almost everywhere on our

planet. Their parts include roots, stem, and leaves . The root takes in water

and nutrients from the soil . The stem carries water and nutrients from the

roots to the other parts. The leaves take the nutrients and light .All plants

produce flowers to make seeds so another plant can grow.

Plants need energy to grow, replace damaged cells, get rid of waste, and

reproduce. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food. In this

process , carbon dioxide and water combine in the presence of light to form

food. Plants convert energy from the sun by absorbing it through their leaves .

Chlorophyll, the green colour found in plants, helps plants, make food.

During photosynthesis, leaves use light and energy to change carbon dioxide

and water into food, and then oxygen is released into the air .

A- Answer the following questions :

1- According to the passage , how do humans get the oxygen they breathe ?

2- Energy is necessary to plants, why ?

3- What is the function of the stem and the root in a plant?

B- Choose the correct answer from a, b , c, or d :

C) Reading 5) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Flowers produce a fine powder called pollen, which is carried by the wind or by insects to other flowers of the same type so that they can produce seeds. Pollination, the carrying of pollen from one flower to another, is necessary for the reproduction of plants and for the production of food. Scientists estimate that one third of our food depends on insects, mostly bees, for pollination.

However, in recent years, there has been a big drop in the populations of pollinators worldwide. There are several reasons. The use of pesticides has had the side effect of killing pollinators. Air pollution prevents insects from smelling and finding flowers, which they need for food. Diseases are killing many insects. Growing cities are destroying the environments where pollinators live. Recently, shortages of fruit and vegetables in India were blamed on the loss of pollinators. Clearly, it is important that we find solutions quickly.

A) Answer the following questions:

1- What is a pollinator?

2- Is pollen only carried by insects? Explain.

B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c, or d:

5- How does air pollution affect pollination? a) Flowers can't make pollen.

b) Insects can't smell the flowers, so they can't find them.

c) Insects can't pollinate the flowers because they can't see them.

d) Pollution kills insects.

6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions Most students find university very different from school. One of

the biggest differences is that university students are expected to manage their time themselves.

There are usually other smaller classes where students can discuss subjects they find difficult, and from time to time lectures spend time with individual students, talking about work they have done.
